[Lyrics]
Shed no tears for the martyr dying
Only in pain suffering and death
Can the martyr become what he's chosen to be
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the cop bleeding
He once held the gun. he once held the key
Now his prisoners will sing and dance and play
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the nun beaten
By the children she once called her flock
How they hate their teachers. who force darkness upon us
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the suicide
He has made his choice, the pain of life is great
And some will find it sweet to rot beneath the earth
As we rot and live and breathe
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss

'Opinions' (with a capital 'o') offered by professionals or experts necessarily carry more weight than lay opinions. Lay opinions demand validity (because, goddamn it, i'm 'entitled' to one), but are often lacking in facts, knowledge or other semblances of reasonable support. lay opinions may be justly dismissed as mere preferences - like coke? or like pepsi? that being said, i'm a huge flipper fan - classically underrated, under appreciated and seminal act, warts and all.10 years ago

This is a kick ass song ! I see some of you are arguing over what style of music Flipper would fit into. People will put a band in one or several categories hearing certain tones and sounds that are familiar to the music they listen to. Flipper has been seen as a No Wave, Punk, Post Punk and Experimental band. Regardless of these labels it is hard to put them just in one area of music. So for me personally I say their experimental. Could I be wrong? Yes !11 years ago

I put the mike on Bruce's chest when he fell down too drunk to help himself. Not a bad gig at The Avalon in Chicago. At least he was still alive.11 years ago
